• Severity: high (CVSS 8.8 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 1.0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-06-09 · updated 2026-07-23
• Weakness: CWE-78

Description

Versions of the package degit before 2.8.6, from 3.0.0 and before 3.3.1 are vulnerable to Command Injection due to improper sanitisation of user input for git shell commands directly invoked with exec() method by _cloneWithGit() and fetchRefs() functions. An attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands as the process user by supplying a specially crafted git repository name.

Affected products

• degit: before 2.8.6; from 3.0.0 before 3.3.1 — fixed in 2.8.6, 3.3.1

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: degit 2.8.6, 3.3.1. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
